I’m smoking a Fuente 858 maduro (cameroon wrapper) and as always it is a great smoke. Medium body, smooth plenty of flavor, perfect construction and burn, time after time. And for me a perfect size. For me, this is the perfect every day smoke, particularly at under 5 dollars a stick. Also comes in a sungrown. I dont buy boxes too often but this one is definitely box worthy.

I usually only have the time or energy to smoke one or maybe two cigars a week, but if I had to choose an “everyday” cigar I’d probably go with a Brick House Classic robusto. Good smoke, good construction, good price, an unpretentious cigar. That’s the cigar I most often reach for when I can’t decide what I feel like smoking.
858 Natural has Cameroon wrapper, Maduro has Connecticut Broadleaf.
That would be Oliva Serie G for me.
858 and Brick House are good choices. Mine would be Padron 2000. That's if I'm smoking multiples every day.
Too new to have a pattern, but I like the Arturo Fuentes Rothchild Maduros, or any Oliva brand.
The only cigar I smoke everyday or almost is Partagus Shorts. 35 min smoke.Everything else I have to be in the mood for, or have the time, special occasions. Want a somewhat inexpensive great every day cigar. Try them. buy a few boxes. I load up when on sale .I honestly never met any who didn’t like them. They have a big following. That says a lot. They are the Hershey Kisses of cigars for a reason get a taste you want more.

I like the way you think! La Aurora $470 or so a box . Gidperts probably under a $100. You covered the Vig ! For all you gamblers out there
No not even close. Keep your wonderful cellar. Those are Mediocrity at their best. Cigar rating are well.............you decide. Lots of marketing painting a absolutely wonderful experience, followed by a rating that’s makes you believe wow I got to try these. And as you are smoking this pile of sh...t you say everyone important is Writing how great this is, all the forums are repeating what they read. and you unconditionally believe it. The truly really good cigars out there, don’t get the hype and the fact is they don’t need too. My 2 cents..

It depends on many factors, what makes an everyday smoke. Generally spoken, I like the smaller Partagas vitolas. Shorts, Petit Coronas, Habaneros, Aristocrats... Another great lower priced Cuban is the Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs.
Got to try those. Ive never had a padron and the 2000 are reasonably priced.
Mediocrity would be anything made by Esoterica. I'd take an Oliva over a Padron any day. They're my favorite cigar.
THIS. I'd add boxes of the other Minutos (Ramon Allones Small Club Corona, San Cristobal el Principes, Bolivar CJ) and Perlas (Monte no 5) for variety. Before I dove into pipes, my everydays were the Marevas - Monte no 4, Rafael Gonzalez PC, PLPC, Upmann PC, Sancho Panza Non Plus. Before they were discontinued, I was smoking about a cigar per day and 3 Upmann PC per week. Probably the silliest Habanos discontinuation of the past 10 years.
Oliva V (and Oliva in general) is not a cigar/maker I'd consider to be a hype/marketing creation, personally. Hell, they've released like 2 new cigars in the past decade, which is kind of charming compared to some companies that do a ton of new and/or limited releases each year. I do prefer the original Habano-seed wrapper to the maduros on the Vs, though, and that's generally my preference across most cigars that have "natural" and maduro options.
Variety is too important to me to truly have a daily cigar. If I was forced to smoke one cigar every day, Illusione Fume D'Amor (CG size), Fuente Rosado Sungrown (44, 52 and even 54 would all be fine), Por Larranaga Montecarlos and Padron Londres would all be in the running. All good, somewhat affordable and not the kind of cigars that will fry the palate and make it hard to enjoy subsequent cigars. If price was less of a concern, the Trinidad Reyes might be an option, too.
